God’s word is filled with many wonderful promises. We are promised that God will direct our steps, work all things to our good, and give us of His goodness.
Exodus 19:4-5: “You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”
God only reveals to us a little at a time. If we are faithful, He will show more of His will to us. The more we align ourselves to God’s will, the more we will experience Him. One principle the bible clearly shows is that God will test our faithfulness before He increases us. A good example of this is illustrated in Matthew 25:14-30.
Learning to trust and depend on God is essential. As we grow, we need to learn to follow God wherever He leads. God never promised this would be easy. In fact, God will put us in a position that requires us to either turn from following Him, or depend on Him.
"Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established." God honors commitment based on our step of faith. Commitment is to remain faithful even when we are challenged and don’t feel like continuing.
